When you take a stand for what you want and who you are, other people might get uncomfortable.
When we see people owning who they are, when we haven’t done the same, it exposes the gap within us.
That gap is where we are being inauthentic, where we are settling, and where we are people-pleasing.
Knowing that other people can become uncomfortable keeps many of us from owning who we are and going after what we want.
This is a strategy doomed to fail.
Suppressing your truth to keep the peace doesn’t create real peace. It creates the illusion of peace — a delicate dynamic that keeps everyone walking on eggshells.
People don’t like to be confronted with the ways in which they aren’t living true to themselves.
But that’s their problem, not your problem.
It’s not your job to make other people comfortable.
Your job is to own who you are and to go after what you want.
